Re: Marvel Legends discussion
I enjoyed both movies - Shang-Chi was definitely a surprise in terms of overall quality (based on the obscurity of the character and how little I knew about the comics), and made me appreciate the figures even more.
With regard to popularity - the same people who praise Marvel with #inclusivitymatters every time a new movie breaks barriers are not necessarily going to be paying for a ticket (doesn't translate to wide box office success, even with the pandemic factored in) and it definitely doesn't seem to translate into action figure sales. I wonder if this will impact how Marvel/Hasbro approaches more ambitious films and the tied in merchandise/figures.
